Cruze Consulting builds sourcing pipelines and modern digital presence for automotive and aerospace manufacturers — so qualified RFQs come in steadily instead of arriving by luck.
Two things move the needle fastest for a capable shop that isn't getting enough at-bats: a real outbound pipeline, and a digital presence that holds up when a buyer looks you up.
A steady flow of qualified RFQs from buyers who fit what your shop actually does well — not mass email, not a list you'll never call.
Most buyers research you before they ever call. If your site is a decade old or you don't rank for the processes you run, you're out before the conversation starts.
Winning more work exposes whatever the floor can't absorb. These two areas come next in most engagements.
Lean work aimed at the constraints that cost you quotes — lead time, scrap, and changeover.
A clear read on where the shop should invest next, instead of reacting quarter to quarter.
We stay narrow on purpose. These three share the same buyers, the same certification pressures, and the same long qualification cycles.
Tier 2 and Tier 3 suppliers running stamping, machining, molding, and assembly. Program wins take months of qualification, so the pipeline has to be filled long before you need the work.
Precision machining, sheet metal, and component suppliers where traceability and first-article approval decide the next program. Lower volume, higher margin, far less tolerance for documentation gaps.
Fabrication, welding, and contract manufacturing serving heavy equipment, rail, and defense supply chains. Often strong technically but nearly invisible online — where most of the missed opportunity sits.
We're a new firm, so we won't put a decade of case studies in front of you. These are the ranges our engagements are built to target, drawn from published benchmarks for shops of similar size.
Every shop is different. On the first call we'll tell you which of these is realistic for yours, and which isn't.
Ninety days, four stages, then a system your team owns.
We review recent quotes, lost bids, and how your shop currently shows up online. You get a plain summary of what's costing you the most.
Target account list, outreach messaging, and the new site or materials go into production together.
Outreach goes live. We manage sequences, refine proposals, and support you through quotes as they land.
You keep the account list, the site, the tracking, and a documented process your team can run without us.
We're early-stage and direct about it. There's no account management layer here — the person who maps your accounts is the person who writes the outreach and builds the site.
We lead with lead generation and digitization because they're the fastest levers for a shop that's already capable. Floor work matters, but it doesn't help much if the right buyers never hear from you.
Tell us where the work is coming from today. If we're not the right fit, we'll say so on the call.
